Kinda want to know because I saw the psycovibe kit and Was kinda wondering if I were to paint the two tone part if it be possible to color match the rest of the car. Seeing as though it is plastic would any speciality paints work?

Welcome aboard, by the way. Don't see why you couldn't paint it, the monotone cars have the same cladding as the 2-tones... If you look at one of the monotones closely, you'll probably see the same texture you'll find on your 2-tone.They would need to take whatever steps to paint the cladding that they would if they were painting the bumpers, basically... Prepping the surface, adding the additives/etc...
